Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 cup Coca-Cola (not diet)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

• 1/2 cup Coca-Cola
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Make the cake batter: In a saucepan, combine the Coca-Cola, butter, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
4. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly stir the cooled Coca-Cola mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by the buttermilk mixture. Stir until just combined.
5. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan.
6. Prepare the glaze: In a saucepan, combine the Coca-Cola, butter, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Glaze the cake: Pour the warm glaze over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
